Windows update error 80070002 with log

[AWS]

So a while ago (a couple of months) I was having problems due to a bad stick of ram. I didn't realize this and kept trying to get windows to install updates (got as far as sp1). It crashed a lot while doing sp1 and never finished. After a crash I would

get some windows update error (like the one above) and I would troubleshoot it for a while until it would let me install sp1 again. A combination of microsoft fixes and sfc/chkdsk usually worked.

 

Anyway I gave up for a while and just used windows without the newer updates. The ram got worse and I eventually replaced it. Everything on my computer is stable. Now I'm trying to fix Windows update again so I can properly install sp1 but the fixes I

used previously don't work.

 

sfc /scannow

Gives an error if run from windows. I got it to run by booting from a windows dvd and deleting pending.xml before running it. It says there are no problems.

 

chkdsk

No corruption found

 

System update readiness tool: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20858

Runs and says it installed successfully but doesn't fix anything.

 

Microsoft Automatic troubleshooter

Runs and says it fixes a bunch of things:

 

1. Potential Windows Update Database error detected 0x80070002Possible issues may prevent Windows Update from keeping your system up to date. Fixed  Repair Windows Update Database Corruption Completed  
   
2. Windows Update components must be repairedOne or more Windows Update components are configured incorrectly. Fixed  Repair Windows Update components Completed 
   
3. Problem with Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)Possible issues may prevent Windows Update from keeping your system up to date Fixed  Reset BITS Completed 
   

 

Still get the same error when I try to update

 

Deleting files in C:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDownload and DataStore with windows update service turned off

There never seem to be any in download and deleting the ones in datastore doesn't do anything

 

---

Anyway, that's what I've tried. I've been searching forums for more fixes for too long now and so I'm posting here.

 

Here's a windows update log (I only copied one update attempt):
